Dedicated to Pussy Riot: Into The Light

Into The Light is a three volume compilation of some of the best bands and artists I heard during 2012. There are 54 of them in all, and the compilation is available via the Unwashed Territories bandcamp site as name your own price. Any proceeds generated are going to the Free Pussy Riot campaign.If you like, you can by-pass the album and just make a donation to the campaign at http://voiceproject.org/programs/pussy-riot-support-fund.php. This project both funds the campaign for their release and also helps support their kids while they're inside. But grab a copy of the album, and you'll get 54 great tracks too, many of them exclusives to this compilation.Special thanks go to the Daddy Tank, Audio Antihero, In At The Eye, Myhand.thanx, ABAGA and Free Rock and Roll labels for licensing tracks to the release.Here's a list of the artists/bands appearing on each volume.
